  • freedom of speech

    i don't agree with a lot of AJ's opinions but i am glad that he still has the freedom and courage to publicly voice them. keep doing you AJ, screw the haters and all who pretend to be tolerant or accepting of dissenting or unpopular points of view when in fact they want to silence anyone who contradicts their insular dogma.

  • Half Measures Availed Us Nothing

    The very last thing Alfred is, is fine. Benza is crying out for help. And you are his friend, Agovino? How can you enable and allow this pathetic, self centered alcoholic spiral to this level of embarrassment? And for chump change. The guy makes absolutely no sense. None. He exists in the past, which news flash, does not exist. The degradation and delusion found here is without peer. His poor kids.

  • Too much information

    Gotta love the Benz and his treasure trove of personal information. I miss the relationship podcasts and their great insights. Where else are you going to get the expert advice that comes from three losers who have more failed marriages and relationships than Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. As for the Benz revealing everything, we can do without any more mention of geriatric sexcapades with his ex Las Vegas squeeze. Some images are to hard to get out of my mind.
